You can select other sizes or vary other layout parameters by providing
-a list of comma-separated values (with no spaces) as the argument.
-You do not need to provide all the values; for any you omit from the
-end of the list, defaults are taken from the nearest built-in size.
-The value n1 gives the piece size, n2 the width of the
-black border
-between squares, n3 the desired size for the
-clockFont, n4 the desired size for the coordFont,
-n5 the desired size for the default font,
-n6 the smallLayout flag (0 or 1),
-and n7 the tinyLayout flag (0 or 1).
-All dimensions are in pixels.
-If the border between squares is eliminated (0 width), the various
-highlight options will not work, as there is nowhere to draw the highlight.
-If smallLayout is 1 and titleInWindow is true,
-the window layout is rearranged to make more room for the title.
-If tinyLayout is 1, the labels on the menu bar are abbreviated
-to one character each and the buttons in the button bar are made narrower.
-
coordFont option specifies what font to use.
-monoMode; XBoard will determine if it is necessary.
-flashCount
-tells XBoard how many times to flash a piece after it
-lands on its destination square.
-flashRate
-controls the rate of flashing (flashes/sec).
-Abbreviations:
-flash
-sets flashCount to 3.
-xflash
-sets flashCount to 0.
-Defaults: flashCount=0 (no flashing), flashRate=5.
-showCoords
-is true. If the option value is a pattern that does not specify
-the font size, XBoard tries to choose an appropriate font for
-the board size being used.
-Default: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal–*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
-tol pixels
-or less from the desired size. A value of -1 will force
-a scalable font to always be used if available; a value of 0 will
-use a nonscalable font only if it is exactly the right size;
-a large value (say 1000) will force a nonscalable font to always be
-used if available. Default: 4.
-If XBoard is configured and compiled on a system that includes libXpm,
-the X pixmap library, the xpm pixmap pieces are compiled in as the
-default. A different xpm piece set can be selected at runtime with
-the pixmapDirectory option, or a bitmap piece set can be selected
-with the bitmapDirectory option.
-
-
If XBoard is configured and compiled on a system that does not include
-libXpm (or the --disable-xpm option is given to the configure
-program), the bitmap pieces are compiled in as the default. It is not
-possible to use xpm pieces in this case, but pixmap pieces in another
-format called "xim" can be used by giving the pixmapDirectory option.
-Or again, a different bitmap piece set can be selected with the
-bitmapDirectory option.
-
-
Files in the bitmapDirectory must be named as follows:
-The first character of a piece bitmap name gives the piece it
-represents (‘p’, ‘n’, ‘b’, ‘r’, ‘q’, or ‘k’),
-the next characters give the size in pixels, the
-following character indicates whether the piece is
-solid or outline (‘s’ or ‘o’),
-and the extension is ‘.bm’.
-For example, a solid 80x80 knight would be named n80s.bm.
-The outline bitmaps are used only in monochrome mode.
-If bitmap pieces are compiled in and the bitmapDirectory is missing
-some files, the compiled in pieces are used instead.
-
-
If the bitmapDirectory option is given, -it is also possible to replace xboard's icons and menu checkmark, -by supplying files named icon_white.bm, icon_black.bm, and -checkmark.bm. - -
For more information about pixmap pieces and how to get additional
-sets, see zic2xpm below.
